Ideas for increased diversity/culturally responsive teaching

1.) Seedfolks as a text for staff and students (culturally responsive texts embedded in curriculum)

2.) Advisory lesson on stereotyping (that isn't so superficial, generalizations are hard for m.s. kids to grasp)

3.) Writing lesson with blogs written by kids, pre-judging kids

4.) Behavior/emotional aspect incorporating a big brother/big sister type program between buildings

5.) Buddy up new ELs with peer mentor from day 1 (someone who is in same lunch)

6.) Better welcome for incoming students (whether ELs or mainstream students)
7.) Assemblies
8.) Hire faculty and staff from various backgrounds
9.) Administrative support is very important to progress as a district.

After our inservice, I thought about the ESL students who also qualify for special education.  Brigid and Colleen were able to help me with locating a blank copy of an IEP in Spanish.  We can and do use this in our district for parents who need this large document translated.  This is a wonderful tool to utilize for our families who need a little more support understanding the services and supports their child qualifies for.

A nice welcome hanging in the middle school lobby. This represents many of the countries our students are from. Great for making students feel welcome, but also for everyone to feel proud of their heritage.

This bulletin board is currently hanging in the 3rd grade classroom. The quote in the middle says, "Diversity is not about how we differ - it is about embracing one another's uniqueness" - Ola Joseph. This display helps students understand and celebrate their differences. They were each able to decorate a hand/arm to represent them.
